Well, It's over.
The first car for the Christmas
sbJp from Nebraska has been loaded,
and 1b now on its war to Chicago,
where it will be made part of a train
that will be hurried through to
Brooklyn, there to be loaded on the
Jason, which sails for Europe oa No
vember 10.
What an inspiring day's work it
was, only those, who took part In It
will ever know. Thousands of pack
ages were on hand, waiting to be put
Into the packing cases, when the ex
perts took up the work as soon as
the dty was light enqugh to start.
And, as "box after bofc was filled, and
one big truck after another rolled
away to the Burlington freight depot,
load after load of packages arrived
Until the packers sent out the
"S. O. S."
Packer Are Swamped.
"We're a wain pod!" ' .......
But they were not All they nded
u a little help and mora packing; cases,
and tbeM were supplied, and work went
merrily on all the rest of the atternoon
and Into the evening.
And at 19 o'clock last night part of
Durlington fast freight train, billed
through to Chicago, tii the oar loaded
with thfc freight that is mora precious
than money can buy, because it is the
gift of loving, sympathetic hearts.
But this dors not ond the shipment.
"While Saturday was set as the day for
closing the contributions, a great many
peDple found it Impossible to get their
goods ond gifts Into The Bee office in
tlmo, and it was found necessary to plan
for another shipment on Monday. This,
it !s quit likely, will be sent forward by
express, tn order that It may be on time
at Brooklyn.
Toa of Presents. '
Whilo much of the shipment consists
of toys, the boxes were not toys. One
One box came through from Holdrege,
Nab., which weighed J.00O pounds.. Just
think of it one ton of Christinas gifts
in this one box. All the boxes sent out
weighed hundreds of pounds, and taxed
the strength of the big men who handled
them in loading and unloading, but they
were working in a cause In which their
big hearts as well as their big muscles
' were enlisted, and what would have been
toil under ordinary circumstances became
real Joy. It was inspiring to watch the
carpenters drive nallshe packers stow
the goods away in the boxes, and ths
truckers load the stuff on ths great vans.
The Job of packing the thousands of
gifts In shipping cases was enormous
sml required the services of a small army
all day yesterday. Louis C. Nash of the
Burgess-Nash company sent over 'two of
his expert packers, as did also Ed Malona
of Hayden Bros. In addition to these the
Cntke Janitor fore of The Bo Building
company, reporters, editorial men. adver
tising men and office boys were busy all
day assisting In the packing.

that after hearing the shot he looked

LONDON. . Oct. 24. Another descriptive
recital-of events in the north of Prance
from an eye-witness attached to British
general headquarters was' Issued by the
official Information bureau today.' It is
dated October 17, and speaks of the fight
ing of tho troops, and declares that the
tact that "we are steadily advancing and
that the enemy Is giving 'way before us
has proved a most welcome and inspiring
change." .Continuing, the report says:
"We still hear from prisoners that Ger
man advance troops, at 'any rate, are
short of food and exh&urted gy continual
outpost work.' Wo can afford to- give our
troops more rest, and there Is no lack of
food. Many' of the men opposed to us at
present have had only two months' serv
ice, and some prisoners declare they will
not expose themselves in the trenches. .
1 "Nevertheless', the 'enemy " Is fighting
well and skillfully, and showing consid
erable ' powers of endurance. " They gen
erally contrive to remove -their wounded
and . often . bury their ..killed ..before . they
retire, and their escape Is often facili
tated by ,the ' numerous deep ditches in
this country.
"Many of their cavalry patrols ' are
wearing t Belgian uniforms, a practice
which la not excusable on tha ground of
any lack of their own.
' v Scoats Show Bravery.
"An incident which occurred October 13
show the resource and iwsvery of some
of our enemy' scout . A detachment of
German ' artillery was lelylng,. and from
time to time coming into action. An of
ficer of one of our flank cavalry patrols
hsd been standing for st.me minutes un
der a tree, .when he noticed a fin wire
hanging close' to the trunk. He found
one of the enemy t. the tree, and be
drew his revolver and fired. , The Ger
man dropped -onto his bead, also firing.
The Brltlsr officer w stunned, and
when he came to It was to find himself
alone, his uniform covered with blood
which .was not his own.
